Servings: persons

4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 small chipotle chile in adobo, minced, plus 2 tablespoon sauce (from a small can)
1/4 small onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pound lean ground beef
Coarse salt and ground pepper
16 flour tortillas (6-inch)
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (12 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1
Make sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add flour and cook, whisking occasionally, 1 minute. Add broth, chili powder, chipotle and adobo sauce, and 3/4 cup water; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
2
Make filling: In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If freezing, don't place any sauce in baking dish.) Spoon 1/4 cup sauce in bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside. Make enchiladas: Stack tortillas; wrap in foil, and warm in oven, 10 minutes. Fill each with a heaping 1/4 cup beef mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese; tightly roll up.
4
Raise oven heat to 450 degrees. Arrange enchiladas, seam side down, in baking dish. Top with remaining sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve garnished with cilantro and, if desired, a green salad.
